Pechegos (Tarn)

The farm is situated in the fine grazing areas of Le Causse, where goats forage in a natural meadow habitat. The cheeses have a lovely lightness, with sweet hints of flowers and herbs coming through the nutty sharpness.

There is a band of spruce encircling the cheese to keep the soft, almost melting texture intact. The rind is brine-washed to give an extra depth of flavour and aroma to the cheese, which is seasonal – late spring is a good time to taste it.

Serve Pechegos with an aromatic dry white wine, with a citrus zest and grassy aromas to really bring out the flavours of the cheese.
